Abstract

A high speed centrifuge which incorporates an elongate conic rotatable housing (11, 12). The housing is centered around a feed tube (10) which delivers a feed liquid into the housing having heavier particles to enable separation. A multi flite conveyor (25) positioned in the housing scrolls heavier particles along the housing toward the tapered end of the housing. An internal surface in the housing defines a pond subject to centrifugal rotation. The conveyor is adjacent to a stack of closely spaced disks (48) which extend into the pond and have spaces therebetween so that liquid in the pond flows between the disks toward the top of the pond while heavier particles migrate through or between the disks and are centrifugally accumulated outside the disks. The conveyor forces heavier particles for scrolling toward the tapered end of the housing.
